More woodpeckers and a squirrel




























Another visit to Dyrhavn confirmed that it is one of the best spots around for woodpeckers. With very few leaves on the trees yet, and the romantic antics of woodpeckers in spring, this time of year is also the best time to spot them. The photo above is of a Great Spotted Woodpecker, the most common woodpecker in Europe but no less pretty for that.

Also spotted my first Red Squirrel. Sadly very scarce now in the UK, except for some remote islands beyond the reach of the more aggressive Grey Squirrel.
